Blog 12: Censoring Filthy Dirty Muck

Censoring of material on the internet and other media entities is quite necessary in this day in age.  I understand that to some effect there are things that are censored that could be considered completely PG but even in the least bit of misinterpretation from a child these could be construed inappropriately.  The initial example that came to mind was several of the "reality shows" on MTV or even CMT for that matter.  I feel its inappropriate and in no way entertaining to see 10 girls dressed very conspicuous, screaming and cursing at each other about who knows what and talking about what girl slept with with guy and what not etc.  The internet does in many cases censor material that I do not believe necessarily has to be censored, but no matter what people think or how this is regulated there will be people that will consistently disagree with either side.  So it does seem that this is a complicating issue and the efforts to give parents the ability to censor what they do not want their family to see is a great way for individuals to monitor that.  The audio commercial for "Chick-Fil-A" is amusing in that it is in some ways ridiculous the amount of censorship that is present on the internet and some television.
